The Cavaliers played the Warriors tonight in what was billed as a potential Finals preview. If that is indeed what it was, the Cleveland Cavaliers will win the NBA Finals 4-0. »2/27/15 12:21am Friday 12:21am

Like Casey Kasem on American Top 40, Stephen Curry took a Spurs turnover coast-to-coast and around the world for a layup that absolutely delighted ESPN Deportes announcers Fernando Álvarez and Pablo Viruega. »2/21/15 12:09am 2/21/15 12:09am

Most internet commenters are dumb, and you're better off never venturing into the comments section. A lot of the Deadspin staff subscribes to the Cigarette Theory of internet comments, which states that reading an internet comment is akin to smoking a cigarette. It's fine if you do so sparingly, but reading dozens a… »2/12/15 9:41pm 2/12/15 9:41pm

If you thought anything at all like "this Warriors-Mavericks game tonight isn't worth staying up late for," you should immediately smack yourself in the head. Hard. It has been true for at least a season now, but the point was driven home especially forcefully tonight: The Golden State Warriors are always worth your… »2/05/15 1:48am 2/05/15 1:48am

The headline isn't an attempt at hyperbole but a legitimate question. I've watched this on replay four or five times now and I still can't figure out how Steph Curry smoothly pulled this off. I'm sitting on my couch trying to swing an imaginary ball from my left hand to my right and then over my shoulder to the dog…»1/28/15 12:30am 1/28/15 12:30am

What Klay Thompson did during the third quarter last night boggles the mind. Thirty-seven points on 13-13 shooting, 9-9 from three? A few of the shots—the one from five feet behind the three-point line and the one where he just sorta flung it up while covered in the corner come to mind—would have been terrible… »1/24/15 11:40am 1/24/15 11:40am

Klay Thompson demolished the NBA record for points in a quarter when he put up 37 in the third tonight against Sacramento. Here's all 37 of the Warriors sharpshooter's record-setting points in one 37-second video. »1/24/15 1:18am 1/24/15 1:18am

A lot of Golden State Warriors players are goons. Andrew Bogut is a goon. David Lee is a goon. Draymond Green is a goon. Steph Curry and Klay Thompson might run the most beautiful offense in the league, but the Warriors' goonery is an important component of their league-leading defense. But they've been so good…»1/22/15 10:40pm 1/22/15 10:40pm

Last week I introduced the Shabazz Assist, a revolutionary new statistic that properly credits a player for missing dunks that "ricochet perfectly to an open teammate in the corner." But like any forefront in advanced analytics, the Shabazz Assist remains a work in progress, and in hindsight its parameters were too…»1/14/15 11:53pm 1/14/15 11:53pm

The Golden State Warriors took on the discombobulated, LeBron James-less Cleveland Cavaliers last Friday and beat them soundly. Even more interesting than the game on the floor was what was happening on press row, where ESPN's Mark Jackson was working his first Warriors game since being fired as their head coach in…»1/14/15 8:35pm 1/14/15 8:35pm

One of my favorite things that happens in the NBA is when a talented team reaches a point where every guy, from the stars to the benchwarmers, begins to understand just how damn good they have it. The Golden State Warriors, currently sporting a 30-5 record, are squarely in that zone. »1/14/15 10:05am 1/14/15 10:05am

There may not be a better ticket in sports right now than the Golden State Warriors, and that has a lot to do with the fact that Steph Curry is liable to do something that will leave you slack-jawed and drooling on any given night. »1/06/15 9:48am 1/06/15 9:48am

We haven't even finished the first quarter yet and Warriors-Thunder is already the highlight reel-fest you'd expect when players like Curry, Westbrook, Durant, and Thompson get together on the same court for a (sort of, it's on NBA TV) nationally televised matchup. That being said, a Klay Thompson alley-oop isn't… »1/05/15 11:06pm 1/05/15 11:06pm

Draymond Green is having a great game against the Thunder, with 11 points, three rebounds, and three assists in just thirteen minutes of play. But this blown dunk on a slick 3-on-1 was not his finest moment. »12/18/14 11:13pm 12/18/14 11:13pm

Late in last night's game between the Grizzlies and Warriors, Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley dropped in a layup that put his team up 95-88 with three minutes to play. Warriors forward Andre Iguodala thought Conley took one too many steps on the drive, and he used the language of dance to express his displeasure: »12/17/14 12:14pm 12/17/14 12:14pm

Yesterday, we learned that the Golden State Warriors were no longer allowed to celebrate victories by singing along to O.T. Genasis's head-knocking drug anthem, "CoCo." But judging by Steph Curry's latest Instagram post, pictured above, the team isn't letting the fun-hating puritans who rained on their parade get the… »12/09/14 9:41am 12/09/14 9:41am

The Golden State Warriors started a fun tradition this year, where they all sing along to O.T. Genasis's "CoCo" on the team plane after a win. Marreese Speights usually posts videos of these team-bonding moments to his Instagram page. »12/08/14 4:16pm 12/08/14 4:16pm
